the United States of America, in Gen.
eral Congress assembled, appealing to
the Supreme Judge of the World for
the rectitude of cur intentions, do, in
the name and by the good people OF
these colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, That these United Colonies
are and of right ought to be, FREE AND
INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
State Of Great Britain, is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved; and that, as
Free and Independent States, they
have full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and to do all other acts and
things which Independent States may
of right do. And, for the support of
this Declaration, with q firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Provi-
dence, we mutually pledge to each
other, our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honor.

Immediately upon them. In fact they
had no power to confer such . boon.
They meant simply to declare the

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Cnfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night
And set the stars Of glory there;
She mingled with the gorgeous dyes
The milky bsldric Of the skies,
And striped Its pure celestial white
With streskings Of the morning light;
Then. from his mansion in the sun,
She called her esgle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land
Najestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rearst aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest-trumpings loud.
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strike the warriors Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven,
Child Of the Sun. to thee 'tis given.
To guard the banner Of the free.
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid Its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud Of war,
The hsrbinger Of victory.
Flag Of the brave. thy folds shall hy-
The sign Of hope and triumph-high.
When speaks the signal trumpet-tone,
And the long line comes cleaning ON,
Gre yet the life blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmsd the glist'ning bsyonet).
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn.
To where thy meteorglories burn.
And, as his springing steps advance.
Catch war and vengeance from the glance;
And, when the cannon-mouthings loud,
Heave, in wild wreathes, the battle shroud
And CORY sabers rise and fall,
Like shoots Of fame on midnight's pail,
There shall thy victorglances glow;
And covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death.
Flag Of the seas, on oceans wave,
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps dsrkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rushed wildly back,
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
The dying wanderer Of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to zee thy splendors hy
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag Of the ftee hearts only home,
By angelhands to valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And oil thy hues were born In heaven;
Forever hoat that standard shseti
